SW'llhlGlhlG GATE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 474,489, dated May 10, 1892.

Application filed August 14, 1891. Serial No. 402,676. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, t may concern.-

Be it known that I, ANDREW Timms, a citizen of the United States, residing at Marion, in the county of Grant and State of Indiana, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Swinging Gates; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, suoli will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the saine.

The special object of the invention is to hang a swinging gate in such a manner that it may be readily raised and held above a fall of snow, or so as to allow hogs to pass under without allowing the saine p1 ivilege to horses or cattle.

Figure l of the drawings isa perspective view; Fig. 2, a side elevation showing the gate elevated.l

In the drawings, A A represent two groundposts, to one of which is suspended by the hinges I3 B a swinging post C, which carries the parallel arins C C', supported by the diagonal braces c c and connected at their ends by the eross-boltD, which passes through the vertical slot e in the middle stile E of the gate F and receives a nut at its th readed end7 so that the gate may be clamped and securely held at any altitude which inay be preferred. The gate is Ithus supported only by the clamp bolt at the middle and in the swinging frame C c C', which swings it out and in, and on which it is thus made vertically adjustable Vfor the purposes before mentioned.

Gis a wire rope secured at one end to the cuter end of the arnl C, passing down and around a )ulleyg2 on the middle stile E, thence n p and over a pulley g on the post-arm C, and finally over the pulley g on the post A'. By this hand mechanism the gate may be conveniently raised and held up in the position desired.

What I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-

A gate E, having the vertical slot e and pulley g2 at its middle, in combination with the swinging frame C c C', having the horizontal cross-bolt D at its iront end and provided with the pulley g on its bar C', the rope G, fastened at one end under the front of said barC, and the post A', having a pulley g near its upper end, said parts being constructed and arranged substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix niy signature in presence of two Witnesses.

ANDREV TARRIS.
